The firm were also finalists in three categories of this year’s British Accountancy Awards, ‘National Firm of the Year’, ‘Tax Team of the Year’, and ‘Partner of the Year’.

Jeremy Beard, managing partner at Haysmacintyre, said: “We are delighted to welcome Tim to the team. His appointment is a major coup for the firm and reflective of our continued growth.

“Tim is a heavyweight in the sector and brings with him extensive technical knowledge and leadership insights that will further strengthen our tax team of over 50 specialists. I am confident that Tim will have a positive impact and look forward to seeing his team continue to grow and succeed as well as further develop our tax services.”
